ABC accused French of selling or furnishing marijuana to agents on three occasions. He pleaded no contest to selling or furnishing the drug, according to the release.

Co-owner Ron French declined to discuss the ABC investigation or the saloon’s liquor license suspension, although he did say Daniel French, his son, no longer works at Pine Street Saloon. He said he’s confident the longtime establishment’s regulars will continue frequenting the bar.

At least 50 people were signed up on Facebook to attend Pine Street’s reopening event, and 106 said they were interested in going. The bar was renovated during the closure, so customers can expect some upgrades, French said.

“We’re just happy to be back,” he said. “I hope a lot of people come back to see us.”
